Curt, When I got my Dodge, it was an off lease that had roughly 100,000 miles. It had been run with dino 10w30, forget the brand. I switched it to Valvoline Maxlife 10w40 for engines with over 75K. Both main seals were dry and I wanted to keep it that way. But I was tempted at one point and

Gee guys, don't want to start an oil war. Anyway, if I lived "up North" which I used to, I would not own a diesel, but that's just my choice. As to the oil, I've said before, my Indie put synthetic in my 1980 300SD once, it started leaking a lot, so I returned to him with 2 gallons of Mobil 1

I'm with you Karl, I ran 616 engines many tens of thousands of miles on synthetic with no ills. Marshall contended that it cut chain stretch to nearly nothing but chains last a long time anyway. For those of us in the frozen north cold start ability is important... Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on

If I ever redo the wagon it will get a nice leather interior from World, or Harry if I can afford him, which I cannot. My 617 has been running fine on synthetic for the last 15 years or so. I prefer 5w40, but have been known to run 15w50 in season. They say the average owner will never see any

Roger, "Zundfogle" is German for "firing order". This was cast in the valve covers and heads of older MB engines for reference purposes. Sellers who don't know these cars like we do will often put a reference in their for sale ads about the "zundfogle" engines, thinking this term means
